We last heard about Vonta Leach on Monday when the Miami Herald reported that the Dolphins remain the favored landing destination for the three-time Pro Bowl fullback and that he's simply waiting out the next few weeks to see if another team ups the ante.

Although that may be true, the Giants are still in the running, according to a person familiar with the situation who requested anonymity to speak freely on the situation.

Leach is a bruising fullback who has only played on a handful of teams that did not end up with a 1,000-yard rusher -- the Ron Dayne years in Houston were rough, apparently -- and most recently helped pave the way for Ray Rice in Baltimore.

For a young Giants backfield with budding talent, it could be a nice addition of the price is right heading into camp.
